Just wanting to share a memory: Lyle-he was a good guy. Painted the first vehicle I ever did with him. He owned an old ford truck. When I was 15 or so Joe and I helped him repaint it in the green drop building by the grain elevators. He showed us how to do it. Taught us lots. I’ve always thought a lot of Lyle. Thinking of you all.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time of need. We have very good memories to hold close to our hearts.
